INSTRUCTIONS   TO   TEACHERS 


THE  use  of  this  book  should  not  begin  till  the  fifty  sight-words  given  below  have 
been  thoroughly  learned. 

During  this  "  First  Stage,"  three  lines  of  work  are  to  be  separately  practiced  every 
day:  — 

1.   Sight  Reading  from  sight-word  cards  and  from  blackboard. 
.  2.   Drill  on  Phonograms. 
3.   Ear  Training. 

1.  Sight  Reading. 

Begin  with  blackboard,  using  script  characters  only.  Teach  the  following  sight- 
words  :  — 

A,  all,  am,  an,  and,  any,  are,  at,  can,  come,  do,  does,  down,  eat,  Frank,  give,  go, 
has,  have,  he,  here,  him,  I,  in,  is,  it, -Jack,  let,  like,  may,  me,  no,  not,  oh,  old,  on,  see, 
she,  take,  tell,  the,  to,  us,  water,  we,  what,  where,  will,  yes,  you. 

Use  the  words  in  sentences  from  the  beginning.  Do  not  use  the  sentences  found 
in  the  book ;  and,  the  better  to  avoid  doing  so,  work  up  the  words  in  a  somewhat 
different  order  from  that  in  which  they  are  presented  in  the  book.  For  fuller  instruc- 
tions, suggested  drills,  etc.,  see  Manual  of  Instruction. 

2.  Drill  on  Phonograms. 

This  is  a  preparation  for  phonetic  reading.  To  be  effective,  it  must  be  thorough. 
The  material  used  is  the  Initial  Stock  of  phonograms,  comprising  f,  1,  m,  n,  r,  s,  —  a, 
e,  o, —  ing,  ings,  ight,  ights,  —  ail,  ails,  ill,  ills. 

The  drill  on  this  stock  must  begin  when  the  first  blackboard  work  begins  and 
continue  without  intermission.  See  Manual  of  Instruction. 

3.  Ear  Training. 

This,  also,  is  a  preparation  for  phonetic  reading.  It  should  begin  at  the  very 
commencement  of  the  term  and  be  practiced  daily.  With  brisk  work,  five  minutes 
a  day  should  suffice  for  it.  See  Manual  of  Instruction.

During  the  "  Second  Stage  "  of  the  work,  three  lines  are  to  be  separately  practiced 
every  day:—  j^  I 


4  INSTRUCTIONS    TO    TEACHERS 

1.  Sight  Reading  from  cards,  blackboard,  and  Primer. 

2.  Drill  on  the  Phonograms. 

3.  Drill  on  the  Blend. 
1.   Book  Reading. 

The  words  in  the  preceding  list  having  been  thoroughly  taught,  and  read  in  black- 
board sentences,  the  book  itself  next  comes  into  use. 

The  pictures  occurring  among  the  words  in  the  sentences  are  to  be  read  as  words ; 


e.g.,  Jack  is  a  //^     J$  >  will  be   read  by  the   child,   "Jack    is  a  rabbit."     Where 


colored  pictures  are  used,  teach  the  child  to  read  the  color  of  the  picture  as  well.  If, 
for  example,  the  picture  of  a  red  wagon  be  used,  as  on  page  17,  the  child  will  say, 
"  See,  May !  A  red  wagon  !  " 

The  drill  on  sight-words  previously  learned  and  the  teaching  of  new  sight-words 
from  the  following  list  must  be  continuous,  the  new  words  being  taught  at  the  rate 
of  from  eight  to  ten  a  week  :  — 

Apple,  big,  boy,  by,  cow,  dear,  did,  drink,  fly,  for,  full,  goes,  good,  hear,  her, 
his,  little,  look,  make,  milk,  much,  my,  of,  one,  or,  out,  our,  over,  pail,  play,  pretty, 
run,  shall,  sing,  some,  sugar,  sweet,  that,  them,  then,  there,  they,  too,  under,  up, 
walk,  want,  well,  with,  your.  For  instructions  for  changing  from  script  to  print, 
etc.,  see  Manual  of  Instruction. 

2.  Drill  on  the  Phonograms. 

This  will  proceed  as  before,  the  cards  being  the  means  employed;  but  now  the 
print  side  will  be  used  as  well  as  the  script  side.  See  Manual. 

3.  Drill  on  the  Blend. 

This  consists  in  the  reading  of  single  phonetic  words.  It  combines  practice  on 
the  individual  phonograms,  with  the  ear  training  prescribed  for  the  "  First  Stage  " 
of  the  work,  separate  oral  exercises  for  the  latter  being  no  longer  used.  The  material 
employed  is  found  in  Phonetic  List  No.  1  in  the  Manual;  said  list  being  arranged  in 
sections  according  to  the  difficulty  of  the  words  presented. 

Ill 

During  the  "  Third  Stage,"  four  lines  of  work  are  to  be  separately  practiced  every 
day:  — 

1.  Reading  from  the  Primer,  Part  II. 

2.  Drill  on  the  Phonograms. 

3.  Drill  on  the  Blend. 

4.  Continued  Drill  on  Sight- words.
